Genital Tract Fistula (a hole between the bladder and the vagina, the urethra and the vagina or the rectum and vagina)

Experts in Treating Pelvic Organ Prolapse Conditions

We perform safe, effective surgical procedures to treat prolapse. First, however, we discuss with you all the options that are available to cure or relieve the symptoms of your specific problem, including:

Bladder Prolapse (the front wall of the vagina sags downward or outward)

Cystoscopy: A tiny telescope is passed into the bladder so your doctor can see any problems that might be causing your bladder symptoms.

Urodynamics: Filling the bladder with sterile fluid so your doctor can tell how the bladder behaves as it is getting full.

Sacral neuromodulation: The implantation of a device that modulates the neural pathways controlling bladder or rectal function using mild electrical pulses.

Robotic-assisted surgery: A minimally invasive surgical approach with less blood loss and quicker recovery times, thanks to smaller incisions than traditional “open” surgery. The outcome is typically durable and long-lasting.

Biofeedback for pelvic floor rehabilitation: A stronger pelvic floor helps bladder control and holds the pelvic organs in place. Biofeedback is typically supervised by a physical therapist so the patient receives either human or electrical feedback on how well they are contracting their pelvic muscles. Therapy may include:

Visual feedback: Sensors attached to the patient are connected to a computer, where feedback is translated into sounds or pictures signaling the success of the pelvic muscle contractions.

Vaginal weights: Patients strengthen their pelvic muscles with a regimen of hugging specially designed weights.

Our fellowship-trained specialists have spent years in the exclusive study of urogynecology and the latest treatment techniques. If you feel that you suffer from any disorder of the pelvic floor, we invite you to make an appointment at one of our practice locations in Cincinnati or West Chester. We’ll begin with a comprehensive office evaluation and discussion with you about your condition and goals, and then tailor a treatment plan just for you. Let us help you get back to enjoying life.
